I saw a sample of this scarf at my LYS and was immediately taken with it. In fact, it took me less than 300 seconds to purchase the yarn and size 35 needles** to make it. The reason that the project goes so fast is that most of the work has already been done for you. The yarn is basically a long tube of stockinette fabric. The scarf pattern is printed on the ball band so there is no need to purchase a pattern. The hardest part of the project was choosing from among the amazing colors. I will have to keep this pattern in mind during the last minute holiday knitting rush.
**size 35 needles + a precocious 6 year old boy with future aspirations of becoming a ninja = not a good situation. Keep those needles under lock and key!

How awesome is that? I am a total sucker for the colours you chose. Want want WANT!
ReplyDeleteThose colours are absolutely gorgeous, and perfect for this time of year :) However the needles sound terrifyingly huge!
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine the scene!!! Love the quick knit, not sure about handling 35 needles!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is fab! I'd love to have a play with those needles. Have you seen the Pinterest projects made with rope/ cut up fabric/ old t-shirts? You could make some fab things with them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous scarf! I love it and the fact that it was so quick to knit, perfect for last minute gifts!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is a great gift idea! I love the colors in your scarf.
ReplyDeletelove it love it love it!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't have your email but I wanted to respond about the ADD thing. Thanks so much for your encouraging words. You can always email me.
ReplyDeletetoo funny! we were just talking about this scarf in my knitting group on Tuesday. We were thinking you could make your own i-cord tubes out of scrap yarn of all the same weight and do some major stash busting!
ReplyDelete1200 seconds? I hope it's the fastest thing you've ever knitted! Otherwise, we'll have confirmed that you're not human -- but instead some sort of knitting goddess. ;) LOVE the autumn colors!
ReplyDeleteYour scarf is gorgeous! I think those would be fantastic gifts.
ReplyDeleteOh noz, at least he didn't try to flush it down the toilet... it wasn't pretty, think handknitted sock and plumber and $$$.

I love this scarf! I'll have to see if any of my LYSs carry the yarn.
ReplyDeleteLove that scarf! Will definitely have to have a go at that.
ReplyDeleteI usually don't like these special scarf wool things but this is absolutely beautiful. I googled the yarn but not much chance of getting it here is the UK. Shame, I nearly had a manic buying moment myself!
ReplyDeleteThe colors look great.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful scarf.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite the scarf! Very cool!!
ReplyDeleteThat is certainly the knit for instant gratification. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! It would be great for a gift, because it's quick but still 'handmade'. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I have seen a sample in the LYS but your colors are way better.
ReplyDeleteI love such fast projects! Instant gratification!
